mmm since the royal bank of Scotland ,Bank of Scotland & the Clydesdale bank have their own notes ....mmmmm i think the Scottish pound or even the Groat.
but since some o you posters seem to be fascinated by Scotland and all things Scottish why dont you visit Scotland and walk into a bar and say some o the things you so elegantly write on this and other threads ??
i am sure it would be warmly debated.

We used to get work in the Glasgow area, and out of town estates. It's not a great place to be working as an insurance fraud PI. The Scott's can sniff out the English, usually the only guy in the street wi out a can of Tennants super T or white lightning in ya hand. !!
